“It would certainly be too pretentious of me to try to predict the future. But I can certainly say there is no room any more for average or bad games, but there is still a lot of room for awesome games, and that’s what Assassin’s Creed is.

Mallat then went on to answer a question regarding the enormity of the Assassin’s Creed name. Could it match the popularity Modern Warfare 2 is generating?

“It is possible, absolutely. Assassin’s Creed is already the fastest selling new IP, two years ago, and that’s good.

Is Assassin’s Creed going to be the biggest brand or name in the video game industry? I certainly hope so, and I would say we’re doing everything we can so that it happens.”
